NSF/FDA SIR: A Proposal to Characterize the RF channel for Wireless Communication between Medical Devices and Mobile Phones

摘要#1229929 Newman，KimberlyThrough the U.S. Food and Drug Administration（FDA）Scholar in Residence program，他们建议对商用医疗器械用于将数据传输到医疗监测服务的无线通信信道的特性进行研究。FDA对与智能手机集成的医疗器械进行监管审查时，需要对无线通信链路进行表征。该项目的目的是建立一个测试程序，用于评估医疗信息传输所需的移动的通信，使用从简单的3G手机到领先的智能手机平台的一系列无线设备。该研究分两个阶段进行，第一个阶段是在消声室中进行的，在消声室中对从医疗设备到手机的连接进行统计测量。在第二阶段，在特定的自然环境中，结合基站通信的一组测试程序生成。

Abstract#1229929Newman, KimberlyThrough the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Scholar in Residence program, they propose to conduct a study of the characteristics of the wireless communication channel used by commercially available medical devices to transmit data to medical monitoring services. Characterization of the wireless communication links is needed for FDA regulatory review of medical devices integrated with smart phones. The purpose of the project is to establish a testing procedure for evaluating mobile communication required for transport of medical information, using a range of wireless devices from simple 3G cellular phones to leading smart phone platforms. The research is conducted in two phases, the first one in an anechoic chamber where statistical measures of connectivity from a medical device to the phone are performed. In the second phase, a set of test procedures in specific natural environments that incorporate base station communication are generated.
